Go back in time at this original 1954 diner, Joni's. This quaint little restaurant began in Pennsylvania 60 years ago, then shipped across 8 states and brought back to life in Lake Geneva, WI.
From the minute up drive up to the parking lot, you'll enjoy viewing the authentic steel design of this "old school diner. I was greated warmly by Dustin, the waiter, who gave me my choice of the comfortable booths or a stool at the large counter. I choose a booth. While perusing the menu, music from the 50's and 60's era such as Frankie Valle, the Supremes, The Beatles and Aretha Franklin got me in the mood for breakfast.
Joni's menu consists of mostly fresh, homemade ingredients. The eggs are from the locally raised, Yuppie Hill. I feasted on the "off the bone" ham, eggs over hard, potato pancake with Apple sauce and sour cream and a homemade biscuit. The potato pancake and biscuit were from their original family recipe. Both were outstanding! The biscuit was especially delightful with a consistency unlike most you run across.
Looking out of the large windows with green & gold striped awnings, you bound to see a few Harleys pass by. You are in Harley country!
Joni's Diner found it's new home in Lake Geneva only a year ago, but hope it will be a mainstay. They had me wanting to don Bobbie socks, a hoop skirt and satin letter jacket (aka Laverne & Shirley) while enjoying a delectable breakfast. Heeeeey!! (In my best Fonzie voice)
